Perspectives

[Guest guest]

After a long time was spent arguing, someone finally asked Bill what he had

to say about this particular passage.

His reply: "I'd tear out the page."

Dear xxxtg,

What fun - next time they could skip to Pg. 425, Lesson 278 ( A Course of Miracles)

"If I am bound, my Father is not free."

"If I accept that I am a prisoner within a body, in a world in which

all things that seem to live appear to die, then is my Father

prisoner with me. And this I do believe, when I maintain the laws

the world obeys must I obey; the frailties and the sins which I

perceive are real, and cannot be escaped. If I am bound in any way,

I do not know my Father nor my Self. And I am lost to all reality.

For truth is free, and what is bound is not a part of truth."

" Father, I ask for nothing but the truth. I have had many foolish

thoughts about myself and my creation, and have brought a dream of

fear into my mind. Today, I would not dream. I choose the way to

You instead of madness and instead of fear. For truth is safe and

only love is sure."

Nice, Joyce

At a study group for A Course in Miracles, the participants were having an

intense discussion about the correct perspective of a certain passage from

the book. There were several people seeing different ways of interpreting

what was said, along with much heated discussions and arguing between most of

the people over the 'right way'.

 

Bill Thetford was also at this meeting. Bill was the person who assisted

Helen Shucman (the scribe of ACIM) in the writing of the book.

 

Bill was quiet and not participating in the discussions, although he was

considered an authority of ACIM.

 

After a long time was spent arguing, someone finally asked Bill what he had

to say about this particular passage.
